Before Summer Ends

I was reading an article by Kim Talbert, where she reminded me that my thoughts and actions determine the quality of my life more than physical circumstances. I want to savor each day that God gives me with a healthy perspective. So, it seems fitting that before summer ends, I have just a few more things on my list I want to do. The list below reflects some of Kim Talbert's suggestions as well as my own.

Catch a fire fly * Make home made ice cream * Gaze at a starry night * Thank God every morning he gives you * Pray for others * Go to church * Read a good book * Nap in a hammock * Tell your family you love them every day * Think positive even when you don't feel like it * Remember life is not all about you * Forgive * Wear sunscreen * Say your prayers * Turn off the television and sit outside * Love deeply * Behave as if God is watching (He is) * Smile at strangers * Cut fresh flowers * Keep faith in hard times * Relax * Take a walk * Live everyday as if it were your last.

My favorite day of the week is my Bible study class day, teaching the Word and encouraging women of faith.
I direct the women's ministry for Wildwood UMC.
My love is journaling how the Lord is working in the ins and outs of everyday life. I have been privileged to have some of those journal entries published!
My favorite restaurant is my kitchen, eating at my table with everybody home!
